Top 25 Songs of 2012

Last year when compiling my Best Albums of the Year list, I realized that some of my favorite songs were not on my favorite albums.  So, I started a supplementary year-end list of individual songs.  Here it is for 2012. 

I will be playing this on my radioshow Wednesday, December 12th from 8:00-10:00 CST.  You can stream the show online here.
